Glorious Saint Paul,Apostle full of zeal,
Martyr by Christ's love,
obtain for us a profound faith,
a firm hope,
a burning love for the Lord
so that we can say with you:
"It is no longer I but the Christ who lives in me."
Help us to become apostles
who serve the Church with a pure conscience,
witnesses of its greatness and its beauty
amid the darkness of our time.
With you we praise God our Father,
"To Him be the glory in the Church and in Christ
from age to age forever."
Amen.
